Practical aspects of increasing workers efficient work time in a high noise level industrial area

Abstract

The acoustic noise problem of industrial areas widely investigated and discussed. It considered as important while ensuring human safety and health. In the paper, we suggest to evaluate the impact of technical environment to the workers by investigating acoustic fields and adequately controlling them. These fields, generated by various sources, usually characterized by specific features, making their investigation and control a difficult problem, where only complex methods can be effectively applied. In systematic point of view, common methodology suggests for investigating and controlling specific acoustic fields in a closed space. The practical aspects analyzed for a particular case of compressor room acoustic noise reduction and increase of efficient work time for workers in a high-level noise technical environment.
